Aminal Songs Mission Statement:
To celebrate the unique bond between pets and their owners by creating heartfelt, personalized music that captures their love and companionship. Our goal is to bring joy to you, your pets, and your family, friends and social media followers
Why 'Aminal' Song and not 'Animal' Songs?
Did you know?
Typoglycemia is a phenomenon in which words can be read despite letters being jumbled.
People of all ages, especially kids, typically LOVE animals. And we think it’s super adorable when a kid pronounces ‘animal’ like ‘aminal’, or spaghetti’ as ‘pasgheti’
Aminal Songs is an homage to that childlike wonder and behavior, that we seem to lose too much of over time. Aminal Songs celebrates the joy that we all possess, and can more easily express when it comes to our pets than we can to the other humans in our lives.
